Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Since you are looking at a data pipeline process, you must consider using Azure Data Factory. This can connect to multiple sources. You can define a workflow or pipeline and it can also run SQL Server Integration Service packages.
The Microsoft documentation mentions the following:
Azure Data Factory is the platform that solves such data scenarios. It is the cloud-based ETL and data integration service that allows you to create data-driven workflows for orchestrating data movement and transforming data at scale. Using Azure Data Factory, you can create and schedule data-driven workflows (called pipelines) that can ingest data from disparate data stores. You can build complex ETL processes that transform data visually with data flows or by using compute services such as Azure HDInsight Hadoop, Azure Databricks, and Azure SQL Database.
Since this is the perfect fit for the requirement, all other options are incorrect.
